NEC show 2017 update - an urgent request.......!
After previous discussions about selecting or voting on which cars should attend, i am surprised that more subscribed members have not offered their cars for the show? Come on guys and gals, volunteer your car if you think it should be shown, and then let the members vote. While not pristine and with an aftermarket spoiler, mine will scrub up well and could do with the extra attention to detail that i would give it if selected, as long as i don't open the bonnet :lol: So i will volunteer my own car as well, considering i will be attending and manning the stand over the weekend anyway. I won't be upset if i don't get enough votes, because i know it is nowhere near the concourse standard of some other cars, but i would at least like to offer some competition, and so should we all!

Multimeter questions
ok, if it's jumping about like that, i guess the auto-ranging is trying to determine the best value to show. but i understand the pain, because i had the same problem with some injectors not giving a value when i was tracking down a problem in the past, even though they were working fine, so we couldnt use it to determine the fault, as the faulty injector gave a value.

Multimeter questions
with digital meters you should be able to set the range you are trying to read at, or have auto-range. where 200 is the range 0-200, not that 200 is the lowest value you can read, but the lowest range you can measure. what value do you get when you try and measure it?

front brakes larger disc
the caliper is bolted at a fixed distance from the hub which is the right amount to fit the standard disks. if you want larger disks, you will have to move the caliper outward from the hub to accommodate them, there is no getting around that?

What did you do to your zed today?
Fixed fog lamp switch connectors as a fuse in the footwell blew every time it was switched on, forcing lights to main beam. Turns out, 2 of the 4 connectors had been swapped around, but looked ok depending on which way up the switch was... Must have been working for the MOT last month, so can't see how this has happened unless the garage had it apart for some reason? Also replaced a blown HID ballast, possibly as a result of my mucking around with lights today to fix the fogs, tracking down the fault. Also, disconnected the aerial, since it's bent and only extends a foot or so, and the bezel won't unscrew to replace it, it has been superseded by a dab one. Garage that MOT'd and serviced it last also seem to have reconnected the stock boost solenoids, maybe over zealous in putting it back together and didn't take note of what wasn't connected... Forgot to unplug them today so will be sticking with stock boost until I can be bothered to open the bonnet again, lol. Might need a pointer to where the passenger side one is located.... :rolleyes: So a lazily productive day, haha.

JAE 2017 - Discussion
I should be there on Saturday, but not with the car, as unfortunately i forgot to pre-order the tickets and buying weekend tickets on the gate would make me bankrupt, especially as i will not be attending Sunday anyway due to the Cars by the Lake event in Burty St Edmunds. Any club member attending is welcome to use our booked stand, which is M30, and i will certainly be loitering around there from time to time on saturday ;-) If you look on the map, it is the one where the "36" of M36 is actually written on. https://japcarclub.org/index.php/club-information/car-club-locations/makuhan
